MEMORIAL LUNCHEON AND DINNER FLOWERS ~ A TREND IN FUNERALS

Memorial luncheon and dinner flowers are the latest trend in funerals allowing people a chance to grieve and celebrate a life well lived. 
How like the flower business to go from one blog post that talks about wedding trends to sympathy trends. Although honoring the life of a loved one during wakes and viewings is important, many families are opting to host larger events such as luncheons and dinners.
For example, the pieces below are for a luncheon being held in honor or a wonderful man who spent many years of his life as an artist. The family believes he really would have enjoyed both the vibrant tones and the unique blooms. 4 of these designs shown below will be for small cocktail tables and include exotic flowers such as bird of paradise, protea and orchids. The host venue is going to be Grounds for Sculpture out in Hamilton/Trenton. If you have never been there, it's an amazing setting and these flowers will really liven up the space. memorial luncheon flowers
The piece shown below will be placed onto the larger round tables where guests will be sitting. Don't you love the succulents and zen like leaves used in the design? After the event is over, the succulent plants can be taken out and re-rooted as a keepsake of the event. memorial luncheon table flower centerpieceLastly, during the speeches that will take place at the memorial this gorgeous standing spray will stand majestically next to the podium. Not pictured are a few tall buffet designs that will decorate the food tables.

It's amazing what you can do with 12 carnations and a little bit of creativity. Our Floral Designer Rocio loves making puppy arrangements so here she shares her tips with you! Here's what you will need ~ 12 full size carnations, floral glue, floral tape, a floral container, 1/3 of a block of floral foam and some assorted greenery.  First take your wet floral foam and tape it securely into your floral container.  Slowly start adding the 12 carnations starting with the top to form the head, the ears, the face and the 2 front legs.   Keep going, adding carnations but only using 12 total!  Now he has his 2 front legs, sitting over the edge of the container.  Using the floral glue, add the eyes and the nose.
